Linked Learning Student Survey

This year the Golden State Pathways Program releases $470 million to hundreds of local school communities preparing to deliver powerful, career-integrated, college-preparatory experiences informed by the Linked Learning approach. It’s a critical milestone on the journey toward California’s goals for a more equitable, prosperous future.

To make good on this promise, we need to ensure that these strides are illuminated by the voices of young people every step of the way. Centering their experiences and perspectives is imperative to ensuring their learning connects—for the relevance, relationships, and results we all want to see.

The Linked Learning Alliance has fielded this survey of young people who participate in Linked Learning college and career pathways throughout the state so that their needs and aspirations are part of this ongoing statewide conversation. This document presents findings from the most recent academic year.
